| I was surprised to read that in Europe, the closest country to have nuclear weapons are the Netherlands (if they wanted to) https://politics.stackexchange.com/q/90870/11473 |

| The Netherlands has US nukes: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vliegbasis_Volkel Apparently also Belgium , Italy, Turkey, Germany have the same type. |

In other words, these countries are launch sites for the US army. What I had in mind are nukes under the jurisdiction of a country (such as France or UK in Europe) |
